On one of my older accounts, networking seems to be more-or-less down. Requests are not reaching ECS services through load balancer, just timing out. On my newer account in the same region however, everything looks fine.
But couldn't you just take a photo of the ballot? Considering that not submitting the ballot after taking it is not allowed here.
It is a pretty smooth system. Voting in the last elections took me about 60 seconds.

Also, no method of voting is ever going to be 100% safe. It's not like there haven't been any unfair elections using paper ballots.
